We desperately need to write a new Asterisk dial plan to replace the AMP generated one that has become far too bit-rotten to be of any substantial use. This page will track the conceptual flow of what will be needed for the new post Asterisk 1.8+ dialplan.

This is being added to, as I write more and more of the schema, and will get much...much bigger. --[[User:Tschak909|Tschak909]] 07:30, 18 July 2013 (CEST)

==Dial Plan Flow==

===Call from outside line (1xx)===
*Call comes in from outside line
**Get house mode and branch between five possible states:
***Ring extensions
****All checked extensions (2xx) are rung in parallel.
***Transfer to a specific user
****Transfer to specified (3xx) extension
***Go to a specific user's voicemail
****Transfer to selected user's voicemail
***Present a menu to select Home user (101)
****Is the number listed in Callers for me(?) for a user.
*****Transfer to user extension. (3xx)
****Present menu audio, and select between options:
****If explicit extension is selected, ring said extension. (Do we want to allow all extensions to be pressed here?)
****If User number is selected, Transfer to user (3xx)
****If General Voicemail, drop to general voicemail box (100)
***Transfer to outside number
****Dial outside #

===Ring specific extension (2xx)===
*Does current house mode allow extension to be rang?
**No? Bounce to Menu (101)
**Yes? ...then
***Ring specified extension
****While ringing, user has the opportunity to:
*****Transfer to a specific phone (2xx)
*****Transfer to a specific user (3xx)
*****Transfer to an outside number (dial specified number given to dial pad)
*****dial someone else in to conference before we all pick up (this is strange, but the button is there!)
*****Send to General voicemail (100)
*****Drop the call
****If extension does not pick up within specified IVR delay time, Transfer to (101) for IVR menu

===Ring specific user (3xx)===
*Find user via AGI script, map to a list of (2xx) extensions.
*Is number on Priority caller list?
**No, it is a normal caller, Process normal caller routing (see normal/priority user routing below)
**Yes, it is a priority caller, Process priority caller routing (see normal/priority user routing below)

====Normal/Priority User Routing====

For each user, there is a set of routing steps to be executed serially, depending on if the user is a normal or priority caller, and then based on the current USER mode. A user is a priority caller if they are listed in the priority callers list. Any number of steps can be created, and a dial plan segment should be created for each one.

* Get house mode
**If Normal caller, select normal caller steps given house mode
**If Priority caller, select priority caller steps given house mode
**If checkbox is selected for give option for voicemail, play message, listen for "#"
*** If checkbox selected, and If # pressed, go to user voicemail
*** Execute next step which is one of four possible states: (TOP)
**** Ring Extensions
***** Parallel ring selected extensions (2xx)
**** Transfer to another user
***** Transfer call to specified (3xx) extension
**** Go to user's voicemail
***** Transfer call to specified user voicemail
**** Transfer to an outside number
*** Loop back around to (TOP)
** If all instructions are carried out and still unresolved, drop back to menu (101)

=== Security Plugin Phone Extensions ===

==== Security Notfiications (999) ====

* run AGI to determine which rooms have been affected, generate audio message
* Determine priority in the following order
** Orbiters then Other numbers (uses one outgoing channel)
*** Ring each orbiter for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring the next orbiter
**** If answer, Play Security IVR
*** If no more orbiters, ring each "other number" for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring next other number.
**** If answer, Play security IVR
*** (what to do here if everybody has been rung, and no answer?)
** Other numbers then Orbiters (uses one outgoing channel)
*** Ring each "other number" for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring the next number.
**** If answer, Play security IVR
*** If no more "other numbers", ring each Orbiter for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring the next orbiter.
** Both orbiters and other numbers at the same time. (uses two outgoing channels)
*** spawn two threads, one for "Orbiters" one for "Other numbers", for each thread
**** Ring each number for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring the next number.
***** If answer, Play security IVR
**** (What to do when all numbers have been rung?)

===== Security IVR =====

* 1 to Reset the Alarm
** Play "Alarm has been reset."
* 2 to Ignore the alarm
* 3 to call emergency contacts
* 4 to Notify neighbors
* 5 to speak to the person in the house

Proposed Asterisk Dialplan

2013-07-22T12:37:04Z

Foxi352: /* Actual dialplan */

We desperately need to write a new Asterisk dial plan to replace the AMP generated one that has become far too bit-rotten to be of any substantial use. This page will track the conceptual flow of what will be needed for the new post Asterisk 1.8+ dialplan.

This is being added to, as I write more and more of the schema, and will get much...much bigger. --[[User:Tschak909|Tschak909]] 07:30, 18 July 2013 (CEST)

==Dial Plan Flow==

===Call from outside line (1xx)===
*Call comes in from outside line
**Get house mode and branch between five possible states:
***Ring extensions
****All checked extensions (2xx) are rung in parallel.
***Transfer to a specific user
****Transfer to specified (3xx) extension
***Go to a specific user's voicemail
****Transfer to selected user's voicemail
***Present a menu to select Home user (101)
****Is the number listed in Callers for me(?) for a user.
*****Transfer to user extension. (3xx)
****Present menu audio, and select between options:
****If explicit extension is selected, ring said extension. (Do we want to allow all extensions to be pressed here?)
****If User number is selected, Transfer to user (3xx)
****If General Voicemail, drop to general voicemail box (100)
***Transfer to outside number
****Dial outside #

===Ring specific extension (2xx)===
*Does current house mode allow extension to be rang?
**No? Bounce to Menu (101)
**Yes? ...then
***Ring specified extension
****While ringing, user has the opportunity to:
*****Transfer to a specific phone (2xx)
*****Transfer to a specific user (3xx)
*****Transfer to an outside number (dial specified number given to dial pad)
*****dial someone else in to conference before we all pick up (this is strange, but the button is there!)
*****Send to General voicemail (100)
*****Drop the call
****If extension does not pick up within specified IVR delay time, Transfer to (101) for IVR menu

===Ring specific user (3xx)===
*Find user via AGI script, map to a list of (2xx) extensions.
*Is number on Priority caller list?
**No, it is a normal caller, Process normal caller routing (see normal/priority user routing below)
**Yes, it is a priority caller, Process priority caller routing (see normal/priority user routing below)

====Normal/Priority User Routing====

For each user, there is a set of routing steps to be executed serially, depending on if the user is a normal or priority caller, and then based on the current USER mode. A user is a priority caller if they are listed in the priority callers list. Any number of steps can be created, and a dial plan segment should be created for each one.

* Get house mode
**If Normal caller, select normal caller steps given house mode
**If Priority caller, select priority caller steps given house mode
**If checkbox is selected for give option for voicemail, play message, listen for "#"
*** If checkbox selected, and If # pressed, go to user voicemail
*** Execute next step which is one of four possible states: (TOP)
**** Ring Extensions
***** Parallel ring selected extensions (2xx)
**** Transfer to another user
***** Transfer call to specified (3xx) extension
**** Go to user's voicemail
***** Transfer call to specified user voicemail
**** Transfer to an outside number
*** Loop back around to (TOP)
** If all instructions are carried out and still unresolved, drop back to menu (101)

=== Security Plugin Phone Extensions ===

==== Security Notfiications (999) ====

* run AGI to determine which rooms have been affected, generate audio message
* Determine priority in the following order
** Orbiters then Other numbers (uses one outgoing channel)
*** Ring each orbiter for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring the next orbiter
**** If answer, Play Security IVR
*** If no more orbiters, ring each "other number" for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring next other number.
**** If answer, Play security IVR
*** (what to do here if everybody has been rung, and no answer?)
** Other numbers then Orbiters (uses one outgoing channel)
*** Ring each "other number" for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring the next number.
**** If answer, Play security IVR
*** If no more "other numbers", ring each Orbiter for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring the next orbiter.
** Both orbiters and other numbers at the same time. (uses two outgoing channels)
*** spawn two threads, one for "Orbiters" one for "Other numbers", for each thread
**** Ring each number for 15 seconds, if no answer, then ring the next number.
***** If answer, Play security IVR
**** (What to do when all numbers have been rung?)

===== Security IVR =====

* 1 to Reset the Alarm
** Play "Alarm has been reset."
* 2 to Ignore the alarm
* 3 to call emergency contacts
* 4 to Notify neighbors
* 5 to speak to the person in the house

==Lists for...==

=== House Modes ===
* Armed - At Home
* Armed - Away
* Armed - Extended Away
* Entertaining

* Unarmed - At Home

=== User Modes ===
* At Home
* Away
* Do Not Disturb
* Sleeping

=== Incoming Call extensions ===
* 100 - General Voicemail box
* 101 - IVR menu

=== Example Phone extensions ===
* 201 - Living Room
* 202 - Bedroom Master
* 203 - Den
* ...

=== Example User extensions ===
* 301 - Thom
* 302 - Lana
* 303 - Nina
* ...

* from-internal - Calls originating from inside the system
== Actual dialplan ==
=== Call to User - Context: from-lmce-custom ===
* This context handles the call to a user, means 3xx number
* This is only an example. Actual dialplan depends on routing choosen in "Webadmin -> Telecom -> Call Routing"

Porting Raspbian

2013-05-09T15:51:45Z

Foxi352: /* Sound on moonPi */

[[Category: Development]]
This process has changed and the new process will be detailed soon.
This will attempt to highlight some of the requirements/process intended/followed for porting lmce to raspbian for use on the raspberry pi.
== Test Booting a moonPi ==
Following these instructions will allow you to netboot your pi off the core and bring you to a console where you can login.
*on the core
**sqlCVS update the 'dce' repository AND the 'ir' repository to get the new device template (if you don't have it)
**get the latest [http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/raw-attachment/ticket/1521/Diskless_CreateTBZ.2.sh Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh] and copy it to /usr/pluto/bin on your core.
**edit /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh to enable "raspbian_armhf" as a TARGET_TYPE
**run /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh to create a raspbian tarball
**add "Raspberry Pi as MD" (#2216) device to the root of your device tree, be sure to specify the MAC address of your RPi
**choose "Rebuild Image" on your RPi device in the Wizard->Devices->Media Directors section of the webadmin
*on any system
**dd an existing raspbian sd image from raspberrypi.org onto an sd card and edit the cmdline.txt file in the fat32 partition
**replace XX with the moon# of the MD you created when manually adding the DT to your system
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/XX ip=dhcp rootfstype=nfs
*on RPi
**plug in sdcard, hdmi, ethernet, turn on... mmmm, moonpi...
**ssh is installed, typical md filesystem mounts are in /etc/fstab, mount -a to mount them (some may go away due to arch differences in future)
=== Sound on moonPi ===
This makes your sound over HDMI work.
* Execute the following commands on your RPi
echo 'snd-bcm2835' >> /etc/modules
apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio
* If you type the following command you should hear noise:
speaker-test
====What does work====
* Embedded phone works on rPi. You'll have to set audio to HDMI in webadmin -> Wizard -> Media Director for simplephone to switch to HDMI output.
====What does not work====
* Audio playback: xine-player always wants to initialize video, even for audio MP3 files. It fails because it can't initialize 'xv' or 'xshm' video driver.
* Video playback: omxplayer integration is in pipeline

== LMCE Packages ==
Most LMCE packages have been compiled for rpi. These are not updated with changes to install/boot properly at this point. - Coming...
*LMCE packages for Raspberry Pi are temporarily available from the following repository source:
echo 'deb http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118201886/raspbian wheezy main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

= TODO =
== Creating Pi MD ==
=== Setup ===
*avwizard
**avwizard may be adaptable for rpi use, needs investigating
**graphics setup is performed by gpu prior to the kernel boot. - need reboot to change resolution/overscan settings
**method of setting/determining graphics mode - config.txt - changing anything requires reboot for gpu init
**turbo mode settings here?
=== UI/Media ===
*need omxplayer_player/plugin pair - next in line
== Other ==
*arm libs required for pre-compiled libraries (external media identifier?/id-my-disc?, more?)
*mythtv frontend is too heavy for RPi - cannot run
*vdr playback?

= DONE =
== New database data ==
Linuxmce uses the database at build time when creating deb packages for dependencies and later at install time to install those dependencies, add repositories to /etc/sources.list and so on. Since on every release some packages tend to change names or split/merge into others, updating the packages tables is time consuming and you need to do some install/fix cycles before figuring them all out.
=== Add Distro and Repositories ===
*update the 'Distro' table, add Raspbian: (then sqlCVS diff/get batch approved/sqlCVS udpate) - Done.
insert into Distro (Description, FK_OperatingSystem, Installer, SourceCode, Confirmed, InstallerURL ) values ('Raspbian Wheezy', 1, 'ConfirmDependencies_Debian.sh', 'src', 1, 'installDebian.php')
*update the 'RepositorySource' table, add the main raspbian repo and an lmce raspbian repo [2 entries]: (then sqlCVS diff/get batch approved/sqlCVS update) - Done.
insert into RepositorySource (FK_OperatingSystem, FK_Distro, FK_RepositoryType, Description, Define, Instructions) values ( 1, 19, 1, 'Raspbian', 'Raspbian', 'This package is part of Raspbian')
insert into RepositorySource (FK_OperatingSystem, FK_Distro, FK_RepositoryType, Description, Instructions) values (1, 19, 1, 'Raspbian LinuxMCE addons', 'LinuxMCE packages for Raspbian')
*update the 'RepositorySource_URL' table, add the URLs for the 2 repositories above [2 entries]: (then sqlCVS diff/get batch approved/sqlCVS update) - Done.
insert into RepositorySource_URL (FK_RepositorySource, URL) values ( 22, 'deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian')
insert into RepositorySource_URL (FK_RepositorySource, URL) values ( 23, 'deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/raspbian')
=== Add Packages ===
For packages we are going to copy the entire bank of ubuntu and lmce packages for 1004 to raspbian wheezy entries, then we'll fix up individual package names afterwards.
*update the 'Package_Source' table, add all Packages from ubuntu lucid as a base, copy ubuntu repo packages and lmce repo packages: (then sqlCVS diff/approval/update) - Done.
insert into Package_Source (FK_Package, Name, FK_RepositorySource, Repository)select FK_Package, Name, "22", "wheezy main" from Package_Source join Package_Source_Compat on Package_Source.PK_Package_Source=Package_Source_Compat.FK_Package_Source where FK_Distro=18 and FK_RepositorySource IN ( 1, 2, 20)
insert into Package_Source (FK_Package, Name, FK_RepositorySource, Repository)select FK_Package, Name, "23", "wheezy main" from Package_Source join Package_Source_Compat on Package_Source.PK_Package_Source=Package_Source_Compat.FK_Package_Source where FK_Distro=18 and FK_RepositorySource=21
*update the 'Package_Source_Compat' table, add OS and Distro for all Raspbian packages added in previous inserts: (then sqlCVS diff/approval/update) - Done
insert into Package_Source_Compat (FK_Package_Source, FK_OperatingSystem, FK_Distro) select PK_Package_Source, "1", "19" from Package_Source where FK_RepositorySource in (22,23)
*fix package names that are inconsistent between raspbian and ubuntu: (then sqlCVS diff/approval/update) - Initially Done, likely find more inconsistencies
== Builder ==
Many scripts are used to create a builder and perform a build.
*build a builder - based on an old create_builder.sh script - done
**creates raspbian build environment AND lucid i386 build environments (one script to build them all :P)
**source is shared between multiple chroot build environments
**database is shared between multiple chroot build environments (mysqld runs on host system)
***mysqld seg faults when run under static qemu in the armhf chroot, solution above
*Conf files need update - most of this is done, needs a little re-work
**builder.conf, raspbian.conf? (from ubuntu.conf/debian.conf)
**Build dependencies list needs updating. - ongoing, lots to remove probably, needs testing (laborious)
*build scripts need update - mostly done
**alter prepare-scripts to accomodate new distro, new flavor and new arch, where required - done
***create initial debootstrapped image - done
***import-databases.sh - MakeRelease_PrepFiles fails prepping databases, I think this is a console command line length issue, import under lucid chroot to shared database for raspbian chroot build.
**alter build-scripts to accomodate new distro, new flavor and new arch, where required - done
***build-maindebs.sh - need to disable building some packages on RPi, namely game stuff and pre-built binary stuff (uirt, etc) - done
*attempt a build - working... fixing... working... qemu building is stretching my patience and failing in strange ways, may need to go back to cross-compiling, scratchbox2 was working well.
**this takes a long, long time. Right now build time on 4 cores (@ 3.4Ghz) under qemu is ~4.5hrs between start of build and package failures, havn't reached the end yet...
**it has come to my attention that qmake (which is required to build qOrbiter) may not fuction under qemu, need to setup a build-env for qOrbiter and work the lmce build into that environment... http://qt-project.org/wiki/RaspberryPi ???
== Creating Pi MD ==
=== Device Template ===
*Device Template #2216, sqlCVS update if you want it
*a device template for the Pi so it's specific MD needs are recognized and implemented automatically, proper devices started. - done
*mac lookup: B8:27:EB:00:00:00 - B8:27:EB:FF:FF:FF Raspberry Pi Foundation
** /usr/pluto/bin/convert_mac B8:27:EB:00:00:00 = 202481585881088
** /usr/pluto/bin/convert_mac B8:27:EB:FF:FF:FF = 202481602658303
=== Install ===
*initially user will add a DT to their system manually - works
*build a complete diskless image from the initial debootstrapped image to untar similar to current i386 - works
*alter the diskless setup scripts to create raspbian /usr/pluto/diskless/XX folders from debootstrapped image or from scratch (similar to current i386) - works
**Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh needs to be edited to enable building a raspbian tarball as well as the standard ubuntu tarball, uncomment appropriate line at top of file - works
== Database ==
*update the raspbian repository to mirrordirector.raspbian.org from archive.raspbian.org
== Automation ==
*USB-UIRT - needs changes to listserialports.sh for rpi serial reporting differences - works
== Repository ==
*need a permanent home on linuxmce.org or semi-permanent elsewhere to further dev work - temporary is up - works
== Creating Pi MD ==
=== Booting - Goal ===
*sdcard formatted with RPi u-boot files (can be done easily from a Windows PC or ...) - works
*diskless boot (nfs rootfs actually) - u-boot would allow very easy integration - PXE style simplicity for Pi MD creation - u-boot pxe boot - works
**NewMDInteractor - works
*boot scripts - works

insert into RepositorySource_URL (FK_RepositorySource, URL) values ( 23, 'deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/raspbian')
=== Add Packages ===
For packages we are going to copy the entire bank of ubuntu and lmce packages for 1004 to raspbian wheezy entries, then we'll fix up individual package names afterwards.
*update the 'Package_Source' table, add all Packages from ubuntu lucid as a base, copy ubuntu repo packages and lmce repo packages: (then sqlCVS diff/approval/update) - Done.
insert into Package_Source (FK_Package, Name, FK_RepositorySource, Repository)select FK_Package, Name, "22", "wheezy main" from Package_Source join Package_Source_Compat on Package_Source.PK_Package_Source=Package_Source_Compat.FK_Package_Source where FK_Distro=18 and FK_RepositorySource IN ( 1, 2, 20)

Many scripts are used to create a builder and perform a build.
*build a builder - based on an old create_builder.sh script - done
**creates raspbian build environment AND lucid i386 build environments (one script to build them all :P)
**source is shared between multiple chroot build environments
**database is shared between multiple chroot build environments (mysqld runs on host system)
***mysqld seg faults when run under static qemu in the armhf chroot, solution above
*Conf files need update - most of this is done, needs a little re-work
**builder.conf, raspbian.conf? (from ubuntu.conf/debian.conf)

*build scripts need update - mostly done
**alter prepare-scripts to accomodate new distro, new flavor and new arch, where required - done
***create initial debootstrapped image - done

Porting Raspbian

2013-05-09T15:23:17Z

Foxi352: /* Sound on moonPi */

[[Category: Development]]
This process has changed and the new process will be detailed soon.
This will attempt to highlight some of the requirements/process intended/followed for porting lmce to raspbian for use on the raspberry pi.
== Test Booting a moonPi ==
Following these instructions will allow you to netboot your pi off the core and bring you to a console where you can login.
*on the core
**sqlCVS update the 'dce' repository AND the 'ir' repository to get the new device template (if you don't have it)
**get the latest [http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/raw-attachment/ticket/1521/Diskless_CreateTBZ.2.sh Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh] and copy it to /usr/pluto/bin on your core.
**edit /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh to enable "raspbian_armhf" as a TARGET_TYPE
**run /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh to create a raspbian tarball
**add "Raspberry Pi as MD" (#2216) device to the root of your device tree, be sure to specify the MAC address of your RPi
**choose "Rebuild Image" on your RPi device in the Wizard->Devices->Media Directors section of the webadmin
*on any system
**dd an existing raspbian sd image from raspberrypi.org onto an sd card and edit the cmdline.txt file in the fat32 partition
**replace XX with the moon# of the MD you created when manually adding the DT to your system
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.80.1:/usr/pluto/diskless/XX ip=dhcp rootfstype=nfs
*on RPi
**plug in sdcard, hdmi, ethernet, turn on... mmmm, moonpi...
**ssh is installed, typical md filesystem mounts are in /etc/fstab, mount -a to mount them (some may go away due to arch differences in future)
=== Sound on moonPi ===
This makes your sound over HDMI work.
*on RPi
** echo 'snd-bcm2835' >> /etc/modules
** apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio
If you type the following command you should hear noise:
speaker-test
Next step will be to get audio playback and embedded phone working with sound.
What does not work:
* Simplephone tries to output to asym_analog and can't find this output
* xine-player always wants to initialize video, even for audio MP3 files. It fails because it can't initialize 'xv' or 'xshm' video driver.

== LMCE Packages ==
Most LMCE packages have been compiled for rpi. These are not updated with changes to install/boot properly at this point. - Coming...
*LMCE packages for Raspberry Pi are temporarily available from the following repository source:
echo 'deb http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118201886/raspbian wheezy main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

= TODO =
== Creating Pi MD ==
=== Setup ===
*avwizard
**avwizard may be adaptable for rpi use, needs investigating
**graphics setup is performed by gpu prior to the kernel boot. - need reboot to change resolution/overscan settings
**method of setting/determining graphics mode - config.txt - changing anything requires reboot for gpu init
**turbo mode settings here?
=== UI/Media ===
*need omxplayer_player/plugin pair - next in line
== Other ==
*arm libs required for pre-compiled libraries (external media identifier?/id-my-disc?, more?)
*mythtv frontend is too heavy for RPi - cannot run
*vdr playback?

= DONE =
== New database data ==
Linuxmce uses the database at build time when creating deb packages for dependencies and later at install time to install those dependencies, add repositories to /etc/sources.list and so on. Since on every release some packages tend to change names or split/merge into others, updating the packages tables is time consuming and you need to do some install/fix cycles before figuring them all out.
=== Add Distro and Repositories ===
*update the 'Distro' table, add Raspbian: (then sqlCVS diff/get batch approved/sqlCVS udpate) - Done.
insert into Distro (Description, FK_OperatingSystem, Installer, SourceCode, Confirmed, InstallerURL ) values ('Raspbian Wheezy', 1, 'ConfirmDependencies_Debian.sh', 'src', 1, 'installDebian.php')
*update the 'RepositorySource' table, add the main raspbian repo and an lmce raspbian repo [2 entries]: (then sqlCVS diff/get batch approved/sqlCVS update) - Done.
insert into RepositorySource (FK_OperatingSystem, FK_Distro, FK_RepositoryType, Description, Define, Instructions) values ( 1, 19, 1, 'Raspbian', 'Raspbian', 'This package is part of Raspbian')
insert into RepositorySource (FK_OperatingSystem, FK_Distro, FK_RepositoryType, Description, Instructions) values (1, 19, 1, 'Raspbian LinuxMCE addons', 'LinuxMCE packages for Raspbian')
*update the 'RepositorySource_URL' table, add the URLs for the 2 repositories above [2 entries]: (then sqlCVS diff/get batch approved/sqlCVS update) - Done.
insert into RepositorySource_URL (FK_RepositorySource, URL) values ( 22, 'deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian')
insert into RepositorySource_URL (FK_RepositorySource, URL) values ( 23, 'deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/raspbian')

This page outlines some information about the Beta, as well as outlining any changes and bugfixes we are applying, just like we did with the alpha2 page.

If a package needs to be built, put it under Upcoming fixes... As soon as a set of package is built, those packages move into a section called Update XXXXX where XXXXX is the svn revision at the time of build.

== Upcoming fixes... ==
'''Note: Please put the name of the package file and the source and bin package number in this list, followed by a small description of what has changed! Hulu Player is not the name of the package, but lmce-hulu-player. It makes the life of the person, who needs to update the repo a lot easier. Thank you!'''

[[Category: IP Phones]]
[[Category: Orbiters]]

== Preface ==
[[Image:Cisco7909.JPG]]

LinuxMCE allows the use of many devices as [[Orbiters]]. One of them is the [http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/ps5440/index.html CISCO 7970]. You can use it to control your home as well as to make calls.

To add a new CISCO 7970 phone as an Orbiter follow these simple instructions (from information in the [http://forum.linuxmce.org/ LinuxMCE support forum]).

== Preparation ==

CISCO 7970 phone is plug-in-play device; LinuxMCE adds it automatically when it is plugged into the network. But first, we have to make some preparations. Run an Orbiter. Be sure that no others tasks are running.
Check the DHCP setting of your phone. It should be something like that: "get IP via DHCP and no alternative servers".
Check the range of MAC addresses:
#Go to Advanced --> Configuration --> Device Template.
#Chose manufacturer CISCO.
#Click the 'Apply Filter' button.
#In the Device Template drop down box select the Cisco 7970.
#Press the button 'Pick Device Template'.
#On the opened window fill out a new 'Plug and Play' section with the converted MAC address of your phone. The range contains two big decimal digits. To get correct range for your phone first see its MAC address. You can find the MAC address on the back of the phone. It is a 12 digit hexadecimal number. The first three groups identify a maker. You leave them and fill the rest by 0 and F. For example, if MAC is 00:16:78:CD:01:D8 its range will be 00:16:78:00:00:00 - 00:16:78:FF:FF:FF. After that you should convert those two values into LinuxMCE representation. To do that run a script /usr/pluto/bin/convert_mac and pass the hexadecimal values as parameters:
/usr/pluto/bin/convert_mac 00:16:78:00:00:00
/usr/pluto/bin/convert_mac 00:16:78:FF:FF:FF
:As result you will get two big decimal digits. Add them to the phone template and store.
If you have problems with phone installation, it may be related to firmware. The phone should have the latest firmware upgrade. (I didn't have any problem with existing firmware on my CISCO 7970, though).

Note for '''CISCO 7960 SIP''' users: if your phone fails to register with asterisk then edit /tftpboot/SIPDefault.cnf and append
nat_enable: 1

== Installation ==

#Plug the phone power and network cable. Note if you have two network cards on your core you should plug network cable in the right switch.
#During boot of the phone after 2-3 minutes you should see on the Orbiter a message about new device with your phone MAC address was detected. You should click by caption "Cisco 7970" below that.
#After that the phone should be registered with asterisk and you can see a normal CISCO screen.
#However, it'll take another 2-3 minutes to generate a new Orbiter for CISCO7970.
#When this operation finishes you'll see a message on the Orbiter screen. Make a quick reload of router (Wizard -- Reboot -- Quick Reload Router. I also rebooted CISCO 7970 because I didn't see anything in the menu Services).
#Now go to menu Services on CISCO 7970 and chose Orbiter.

== Troubleshooting ==
*Problem: Phone boots successfully but there is no any message on the Orbiter's screen.
*Solution: If the message doesn't appear check MAC addresses range.

== Some useful tips ==
*To reset a Network configuration of CISCO79xx go to menu 'Network Setting' and press the following sequence of buttons:
**#**
*To check network communications between CISCO7970 and CORE run tcpdump on the CORE:
tcpdump -i eth1 [CISCO7970 IP Address]
or to see detailed packets information:
tcpdump -i -vv eth1 [CISCO7970 IP Address]
or change TimeZone change following line in /tftpboot/SEPDefault7970.cnf.xml (you can find proper TimeZone strings [http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+phone+cisco+7970+SIP here] ):
<timeZone>W. Europe Standard/Daylight Time</timeZone>
*To add the voicemail options to the message button, edit the sccp.conf file and add the following to the lines section of each phone:
mailbox=<extension>
vmnum=*97
*To configure the display/backlight change the following lines in /tftpboot/SEPDefault7970.cnf.xml
<daysDisplayNotActive>1,7</daysDisplayNotActive>
<displayOnTime>09:00</displayOnTime>
<displayOnDuration>08:00</displayOnDuration>
<displayIdleTimeout>00:01</displayIdleTimeout>
''daysDisplayNotActive'' you can put 1 through 7 where 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, 3 = Tuesday and so on.

''displayOnTime'' is the time of the day the display is turned on

''displayOnDuration'' is the length of time from the ''displayOnTime'' that the display will remain on. So in the above example the display turns on at 9:00 and turns off at 17:00. I haven't tested but I believe having this as 00:00 would keep the display on 24/7.

''displayIdleTimeout'' is the length of time the display will remain on when outside the displayOnTime/Duration parameter (inside the display is always on).
<displayOnWhenIncomingCall>1</displayOnWhenIncomingCall>
This can be used for the display to turn on when receiving a call (0 = disable, 1 = enable). This line is currently not present in the file so just add it after the ''displayIdleTimeout''.
Note: ''displayOnWhenIncomingCall'' doesn't work on all firmwares.

To turn on the display just press the "Display button" that should be solid green. (solid green = display turn off, blinking green = only the touchscreen is off)

Email suggestions to: stepanov.michael [at] gmail [dot] com or leave a comment.

==Directory button on Cisco IP Phone==
Please Note, this is a part of the LinuxMCE system. Just press the directory button and enjoy.

It has the following Features:

* Works with Contacts from the Pluto phone directory
* Paginates them based on # of entries in phone book
* Shows the phone type.

If there are any problems, let me know --[[User:Tschak909|Tschak909]] ( thom.cherryhomes (at) gmail (dot) com ).

==Add usefull XML services beside Orbiter==

Currently this feature doesn't make much sense if you use Orbiter on phone, cause it's constantly refreshing and you loose focus of any other menu on the phone.... I've searched internet a bit and found few usefull applications that will let you put rss or xml feeds to your 7970.

Basically you can try rss or xml feeds directly, but also there is usefull script that automatically converts pages to proper format - for example:
http://phone-xml.berbee.com/menu.xml?opts=67

Gives you rss feeds from CNN and BBC. You can also use this script to convert any rss feed to same shape (it's weather rss feed in my country):

http://phone-xml.berbee.com/rss/items.php?url=http://vreme.zurnal24.si/xml/rss/vreme.xml

I have further modified file /var/www/pluto-admin/ServicesMenu.php - and added more entries - basically it's XML list of various URLs to follow.

== Firmware updates ==

Since LinuxMCE 12.04 it is possible to update the firmware of CISCO 7970 phones. To do this you must be registered on cisco.com website and have the needed licenses to be legal. To update the firmware please follow the below steps:
* Download newest SCCP firmware from cisco.com (you must be registered). Download the "firmware files only" package which is a .zip file.
* Unpack the files to the /tftpboot directory of your core.
* The package should contain some tem*.loads files, some *.sbn files and a SCCP*.loads file. Copy the filename of the SCCP*.loads file.
* In webadmin enter the "Phones" menu under "Devices".
* Search for your 7970 phones and paste the SCCP*.loads filename in the "Firmware" field.
* Click "Update" at page bottom
* Power cycle your 7970 phones.
* The phones should auto update after first boot. This will take a while. You can monitor progress on the phone's screen.

==Usefull links==

[http://web.csma.biz/apps/xml_xmldir.php Open 79XX XML Directory] - Gives you possibility to edit info showed/used on Phone... I've just tried ver 1.2 and it seems really useful. Beside contacts and search capability, it allows user to organize external xml services, memos, notes together in one easy to traverse menu... Really worth of consideration...

LinuxMCE allows the use of many devices as [[Orbiters]]. One of them is the [http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/ps5440/index.html CISCO 7970]. You can use it to control your home as well as to make calls.

To add a new CISCO 7970 phone as an Orbiter follow these simple instructions (from information in the [http://forum.linuxmce.org/ LinuxMCE support forum]).

== Preparation ==

CISCO 7970 phone is plug-in-play device; LinuxMCE adds it automatically when it is plugged into the network. But first, we have to make some preparations. Run an Orbiter. Be sure that no others tasks are running.
Check the DHCP setting of your phone. It should be something like that: "get IP via DHCP and no alternative servers".
Check the range of MAC addresses:
#Go to Advanced --> Configuration --> Device Template.
#Chose manufacturer CISCO.
#Click the 'Apply Filter' button.
#In the Device Template drop down box select the Cisco 7970.
#Press the button 'Pick Device Template'.
#On the opened window fill out a new 'Plug and Play' section with the converted MAC address of your phone. The range contains two big decimal digits. To get correct range for your phone first see its MAC address. You can find the MAC address on the back of the phone. It is a 12 digit hexadecimal number. The first three groups identify a maker. You leave them and fill the rest by 0 and F. For example, if MAC is 00:16:78:CD:01:D8 its range will be 00:16:78:00:00:00 - 00:16:78:FF:FF:FF. After that you should convert those two values into LinuxMCE representation. To do that run a script /usr/pluto/bin/convert_mac and pass the hexadecimal values as parameters:
/usr/pluto/bin/convert_mac 00:16:78:00:00:00
/usr/pluto/bin/convert_mac 00:16:78:FF:FF:FF
:As result you will get two big decimal digits. Add them to the phone template and store.
If you have problems with phone installation, it may be related to firmware. The phone should have the latest firmware upgrade. (I didn't have any problem with existing firmware on my CISCO 7970, though).

Note for '''CISCO 7960 SIP''' users: if your phone fails to register with asterisk then edit /tftpboot/SIPDefault.cnf and append
nat_enable: 1

== Installation ==

#Plug the phone power and network cable. Note if you have two network cards on your core you should plug network cable in the right switch.
#During boot of the phone after 2-3 minutes you should see on the Orbiter a message about new device with your phone MAC address was detected. You should click by caption "Cisco 7970" below that.
#After that the phone should be registered with asterisk and you can see a normal CISCO screen.
#However, it'll take another 2-3 minutes to generate a new Orbiter for CISCO7970.
#When this operation finishes you'll see a message on the Orbiter screen. Make a quick reload of router (Wizard -- Reboot -- Quick Reload Router. I also rebooted CISCO 7970 because I didn't see anything in the menu Services).
#Now go to menu Services on CISCO 7970 and chose Orbiter.

== Troubleshooting ==
*Problem: Phone boots successfully but there is no any message on the Orbiter's screen.
*Solution: If the message doesn't appear check MAC addresses range.

== Some useful tips ==
*To reset a Network configuration of CISCO79xx go to menu 'Network Setting' and press the following sequence of buttons:
**#**
*To check network communications between CISCO7970 and CORE run tcpdump on the CORE:
tcpdump -i eth1 [CISCO7970 IP Address]
or to see detailed packets information:
tcpdump -i -vv eth1 [CISCO7970 IP Address]
or change TimeZone change following line in /tftpboot/SEPDefault7970.cnf.xml (you can find proper TimeZone strings [http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+phone+cisco+7970+SIP here] ):
<timeZone>W. Europe Standard/Daylight Time</timeZone>
*To add the voicemail options to the message button, edit the sccp.conf file and add the following to the lines section of each phone:
mailbox=<extension>
vmnum=*97
*To configure the display/backlight change the following lines in /tftpboot/SEPDefault7970.cnf.xml
<daysDisplayNotActive>1,7</daysDisplayNotActive>
<displayOnTime>09:00</displayOnTime>
<displayOnDuration>08:00</displayOnDuration>
<displayIdleTimeout>00:01</displayIdleTimeout>
''daysDisplayNotActive'' you can put 1 through 7 where 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, 3 = Tuesday and so on.

''displayOnTime'' is the time of the day the display is turned on

''displayOnDuration'' is the length of time from the ''displayOnTime'' that the display will remain on. So in the above example the display turns on at 9:00 and turns off at 17:00. I haven't tested but I believe having this as 00:00 would keep the display on 24/7.

''displayIdleTimeout'' is the length of time the display will remain on when outside the displayOnTime/Duration parameter (inside the display is always on).
<displayOnWhenIncomingCall>1</displayOnWhenIncomingCall>
This can be used for the display to turn on when receiving a call (0 = disable, 1 = enable). This line is currently not present in the file so just add it after the ''displayIdleTimeout''.
Note: ''displayOnWhenIncomingCall'' doesn't work on all firmwares.

To turn on the display just press the "Display button" that should be solid green. (solid green = display turn off, blinking green = only the touchscreen is off)

==Directory button on Cisco IP Phone==
Please Note, this is a part of the LinuxMCE system. Just press the directory button and enjoy.

It has the following Features:

* Works with Contacts from the Pluto phone directory
* Paginates them based on # of entries in phone book
* Shows the phone type.

If there are any problems, let me know --[[User:Tschak909|Tschak909]] ( thom.cherryhomes (at) gmail (dot) com ).

==Add usefull XML services beside Orbiter==

Currently this feature doesn't make much sense if you use Orbiter on phone, cause it's constantly refreshing and you loose focus of any other menu on the phone.... I've searched internet a bit and found few usefull applications that will let you put rss or xml feeds to your 7970.

Basically you can try rss or xml feeds directly, but also there is usefull script that automatically converts pages to proper format - for example:
http://phone-xml.berbee.com/menu.xml?opts=67

Gives you rss feeds from CNN and BBC. You can also use this script to convert any rss feed to same shape (it's weather rss feed in my country):

http://phone-xml.berbee.com/rss/items.php?url=http://vreme.zurnal24.si/xml/rss/vreme.xml

I have further modified file /var/www/pluto-admin/ServicesMenu.php - and added more entries - basically it's XML list of various URLs to follow.

== Firmware updates ==

Since LinuxMCE 12.04 it is possible to update the firmware of CISCO 7970 phones. To do this you must be registered on cisco.com website and have the needed licenses to be legal. To update the firmware please follow the below steps:
* Download newest SCCP firmware from cisco.com (you must be registered). Download the "firmware files only" package which is a .zip file.
* Unpack the files to the /tftpboot directory of your core.
* In the package should be somt tem*.loads files, some *.sbn files and a SCCP*.loads file. Copy the filename of the SCCP*.loads file.
* In webadmin enter the "Phones" menu under "Devices".
* Search for your 7970 phones and paste the SCCP*.loads filename un the "Firmware" field.
* Click "Update" at page bottom
* Power cycle your 7970 phones.
* The phones should auto update after first boot. This will take a while. You can monitor progress on the phone's screen.

LinuxMCE-1204/1404 Updates

2013-04-02T19:49:48Z

Foxi352: /* Upcoming fixes... */

Joggler

2013-02-03T16:33:30Z

Foxi352: /* Modify config files */

[[Category: Orbiters]]

=Transforming O2 Joggler to LinuxMCE orbiter=
==Creating device in LinuxMCE==
Login to your webadmin. Go to "Orbiter" and add a new device of type "Orbiter". Set the Size to "Nokia770". Choose whatever skin and language you like. Quick reload your core and let it create the Orbiter. Anyway; you have a lot of work to do meanwhile :-)
Check your new orbiter's device ID. You will need it below during pluto.conf creation.

==Installing base system==
===Download and install SqueezeOS===
Get [http://birdslikewires.co.uk/articles/squeezeplay-os SqueezePlay OS] for Joggler. I suggest using the version "for internal memory". You may use the USB version and work on with an external USB stick on your joggler. However i tested this whole process using the joggler's internal flash.
====Using linux====
Unzip the download (filename may of course change if new version is released):
gunzip sqpos109mmc.img.gz
Plug in a 2GB (min) USB stick. Find the device name of your USB stick:
sudo fdisk -l
Write the image to your USB stick. '''ATTENTION: ALL FILES ON YOUR USB STICK WILL BE OVERWRITTEN !!!'''
sudo umount /dev/sdX*
sudo dd if=sqpos109mmc.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Where sdX is your USB device.
====Using OSX====
Unzip the download (filename may of course change if new version is released):
gunzip sqpos109mmc.img.gz
Open a Terminal window. Plug in a 2GB (min) USB stick. Find the device name of your USB stick:
sudo diskutil list
Write the image to your USB stick. '''ATTENTION: ALL FILES ON YOUR USB STICK WILL BE OVERWRITTEN !!!'''
sudo umount -f /dev/diskX*
sudo dd if=sqpos109mmc.img of=/dev/rdiskX bs=1m
Where rdiskX is your USB device.
===Flash it to your joggler's internal memory===
Power off your joggler. Insert your newly prepared USB stick to your joggler's external USB port. Power on your joggler and let it flash the SqueezeOS to the internal flash memory.
Read instructions on screen. When done remove the externel USB stick and let the joggler boot into your newly installed SqueezeOS.
===Setup WLAN===
If you plan to use WLAN then you better configure it using the SqueezeOS GUI before we disable it in the next steps. Otherwise it will be tricky to set it up later.
===Activating SSH server===
Once booted into SqueezeOS go to '''"Settings > Advanced > Additional Features > OpenSSH server"''' and activate it.
Give it some minutes to install and then try to ssh to your joggler:
ssh joggler@<your joggler's ip>
password is: joggler

==Transform it to Orbiter==
===Adapt sources.list===
SSH to core, "sudo su" to root and replace /etc/apt/sources.list with following content:
###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jools/emgd-xorg1.9/ubuntu lucid main

#### LinuxMCE repo
deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ lucid beta2
===Update installation to latest packages===
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
===Install pre requirements for Orbiter===
apt-get install mysql-client libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libsdl-sge libsdl-gfx1.2-4 libsdl-image1.2 libhid0 icewm liblinphone3 libxcursor1 msttcorefonts
===Create directory structure===
mkdir -p /usr/pluto/bin
mkdir -p /usr/pluto/lib
mkdir -p /usr/pluto/locks
mkdir -p /var/log/pluto

chown -R joggler:joggler /usr/pluto
chown -R joggler:joggler /var/log/pluto

===Copy needed files from your core to your joggler===
SSH to joggler if not yet done. You don't need to become root. Copy the Orbiter binary:
cd /usr/pluto/bin
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Orbiter .
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh .
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/SQL_Ops.sh .
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/LockUtils.sh .

Copy the needed libraries:
cd /usr/pluto/lib
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/lib/* .
Note: you may need to change "dcerouter" to your core's full FQDN or to your core's IP address, depending your local environment.

===Modify config files===
Tell your system where to find LinuxMCE libraries needed by Orbiter:
sudo echo /usr/pluto/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/LinuxMCE.conf
Create '''/home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh''' file with following content:
#!/bin/bash

. /usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh 2>/dev/null

ConfGet "MyOrbiterID"
ConfGet "DCERouter"

while [ "1" == "1" ] ; do
cd /usr/pluto/bin
/usr/pluto/bin/Orbiter -r $DCERouter -d $MyOrbiterID
sleep 15
done
Change mode:
chmod 755 /home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh
Replace '''/home/joggler/.xinitrc''' file with the following content:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xset +dpms
xset dpms 300 300 300

if [ -f /home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh ]; then
/home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh&
fi

if [ -f /home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh ]; then
/home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh
else
xterm
fi
The "xset dpms 300 300 300" line sets the timeout in seconds for your joggler's screen to switch off. Feel free to change to your needs.

===Create LinuxMCE configuration===
"sudo su" to root and create '''/etc/pluto.conf''' with the following content:
MySqlHost = 192.168.80.1
MySqlUser = root
MySqlPassword =
MySqlDBName = pluto_main
DCERouter = 192.168.80.1
MySqlPort = 3306
DCERouterPort = 3450
Display = 0
MyOrbiterID = <ID>
Replace <ID> with the device ID of the orbiter you created above.

===Optional: Squeezeslave===
If you want to playback audio files on your joggler via Logitech Media Server you can add the squeezeslave package:
sudo apt-get install squeezeslave
Create '''/home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh'''
#!/bin/bash

. /usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh 2>/dev/null

ConfGet "DCERouter"
MAC=$(ifconfig eth0 | grep "HWaddr" | sed 's/.*HWaddr $[:[:xdigit:]]*$.*$/\1/g')

while [ "1" = "1" ]; do
/usr/bin/squeezeslave -m $MAC $DCERouter
done
Change mode
chmod 755 /home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh
If you want your squeezeslave to be a DCE device, meaning that it can be controlled by an Orbiter or my events:
#Go to LinuxMCE webadmin
#Click on "Show device tree"
#Expand CORE
#Click on "Slim Server Streamer"
#Click on "Create child device"
#Enter a description like "Joggler" and enter jogglers IP address and MAC address
#Click on "Pick device template" and choose DT #58
After having finished device installation you need to assign it to a room which does not yet have an MD.
#Click on the LinuxMCE logo in Webadmin (top left)
#Click on "A/V Equipment"
#Search for your new joggler squeezeslave, modify it's room and click the update butom on page bottom.
Quick reload DCERouter, let your orbiters rebuild and enjoy LinuxMCE playing audio on your joggler.

==TODO==
On my whishlist:
* Get mouse cursor hidden. All tries with unclutter or xsetroot to emptycursor failed miserably in the past.
* Make it possible to switch from Orbiter to SqueezePlay and back
* Make mediaplay work on joggler via LMCE. At least audio. Video would be a bonus.
* Make it auto create a new orbiter after first install
Future playground:
* Play with NFS boot of maybe +/- full MD ?

Open a Terminal window. Plug in a 2GB (min) USB stick. Find the device name of your USB stick:
sudo diskutil list
Write the image to your USB stick. '''ATTENTION: ALL FILES ON YOUR USB STICK WILL BE OVERWRITTEN !!!'''
sudo umount -f /dev/diskX*
sudo dd if=sqpos109mmc.img of=/dev/rdiskX bs=1m
Where rdiskX is your USB device.
===Flash it to your joggler's internal memory===
Power off your joggler. Insert your newly prepared USB stick to your joggler's external USB port. Power on your joggler and let it flash the SqueezeOS to the internal flash memory.
Read instructions on screen. When done remove the externel USB stick and let the joggler boot into your newly installed SqueezeOS.
===Setup WLAN===
If you plan to use WLAN then you better configure it using the SqueezeOS GUI before we disable it in the next steps. Otherwise it will be tricky to set it up later.
===Activating SSH server===
Once booted into SqueezeOS go to '''"Settings > Advanced > Additional Features > OpenSSH server"''' and activate it.
Give it some minutes to install and then try to ssh to your joggler:
ssh joggler@<your joggler's ip>
password is: joggler

==Transform it to Orbiter==
===Adapt sources.list===
SSH to core, "sudo su" to root and replace /etc/apt/sources.list with following content:

===Update installation to latest packages===
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
===Install pre requirements for Orbiter===
apt-get install mysql-client libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libsdl-sge libsdl-gfx1.2-4 libsdl-image1.2 libhid0 icewm liblinphone3 libxcursor1 msttcorefonts
===Create directory structure===
mkdir -p /usr/pluto/bin
mkdir -p /usr/pluto/lib
mkdir -p /usr/pluto/locks
mkdir -p /var/log/pluto

chown -R joggler:joggler /usr/pluto
chown -R joggler:joggler /var/log/pluto

===Copy needed files from your core to your joggler===
SSH to joggler if not yet done. You don't need to become root. Copy the Orbiter binary:
cd /usr/pluto/bin
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Orbiter .
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh .
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/SQL_Ops.sh .
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/bin/LockUtils.sh .

Copy the needed libraries:
cd /usr/pluto/lib
scp root@dcerouter:/usr/pluto/lib/* .
Note: you may need to change "dcerouter" to your core's full FQDN or to your core's IP address, depending your local environment.

===Modify config files===
Tell your system where to find LinuxMCE libraries needed by Orbiter:
sudo echo /usr/pluto/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/LinuxMCE.conf
Create '''/home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh''' file with following content:
#!/bin/bash

. /usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh 2>/dev/null
. /usr/pluto/bin/SQL_Ops.sh

ConfGet "MyOrbiterID"
ConfGet "DCERouter"

Q="SELECT IK_DeviceData FROM Device_DeviceData WHERE FK_Device=$MyOrbiterID AND FK_DeviceData=56"
timeOut=$(RunSQL "$Q" | cut -d',' -f2)

export DISPLAY=:0.0
xset dpms $timeOut $timeOut $timeOut

while [ "1" == "1" ] ; do
cd /usr/pluto/bin
/usr/pluto/bin/Orbiter -r $DCERouter -d $MyOrbiterID
sleep 15
done
Change mode:
chmod 755 /home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh
Replace '''/home/joggler/.xinitrc''' file with the following content:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
xset +dpms

if [ -f /home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh ]; then
/home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh&
fi

if [ -f /home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh ]; then
/home/joggler/startOrbiter.sh
else
xterm
fi

===Create LinuxMCE configuration===
"sudo su" to root and create '''/etc/pluto.conf''' with the following content:
MySqlHost = 192.168.80.1
MySqlUser = root
MySqlPassword =
MySqlDBName = pluto_main
DCERouter = 192.168.80.1
MySqlPort = 3306
DCERouterPort = 3450
Display = 0
MyOrbiterID = <ID>
Replace <ID> with the device ID of the orbiter you created above.

===Optional: Squeezeslave===
If you want to playback audio files on your joggler via Logitech Media Server you can add the squeezeslave package:
apt-get install squeezeslave
Create '''/home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh'''
#!/bin/bash

. /usr/pluto/bin/Config_Ops.sh 2>/dev/null
. /usr/pluto/bin/SQL_Ops.sh

ConfGet "DCERouter"
MAC=$(ifconfig eth0 | grep "HWaddr" | sed 's/.*HWaddr $[:[:xdigit:]]*$.*$/\1/g')

while [ "1" = "1" ]; do
/usr/bin/squeezeslave -m $MAC $DCERouter
done
Change mode
chmod 755 /home/joggler/startSqueezeSlave.sh

==TODO==
On my whishlist:
* Get mouse cursor hidden. All tries with unclutter or xsetroot to emptycursor failed miserably in the past.
* Make it possible to switch from Orbiter to SqueezePlay and back
* Make mediaplay work on joggler via LMCE. At least audio. Video would be a bonus.
* Make it auto create a new orbiter after first install
Future playground:
* Play with NFS boot of maybe +/- full MD ?
